Dear Saints,


Today we prayerfully Feast in the book of 2 Samuel 16. Ziba’s flattery to king David is really a falsehood. David accepts the curses by Shimei, thinking possibly the curses are from God. Ahithophel’s counsels Absalom to do wicked things. “20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel. What shall we do?” 21 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the house, and all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.” 22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof. And Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel. 23 Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one consulted the word of God; so was all the counsel of Ahithophel esteemed, both by David and by Absalom.” 2 Samuel 16:20-23, English Standard Version (ESV). Dear Saints, what can we say her, except to seek counsel from God. Keep your eyes on Jesus and his Word, testing men’s words always holding them up to God’s Word.
Thanksgiving devotional series by Pastor, Glen Aycock;

“PREPARE FOR THANKSGIVING – Devotional 2

SCRIPTURE: Ps 95:2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
Ps 100:1 «A Psalm of Thanksgiving.» Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
Ps 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
Devotional Thoughts:
How do you start your day? Some people are slow starters and others hit the floor running. I urge you to start the day praising God for another day and asking Him to use you today to spread joy to others you encounter. This is the true servant’s heart. Daniel of the Old Testament was a man of prayer. He was a fanatic according to the world around him. Three times a day he knelt and prayed. The result was that regardless if it was hungry lions in lion’s den or evil men trying to end his life, he was victorious. Is your prayer life only active when it is convenient? What changes could you and I experience if we became as faithful as Daniel? David was a believer in giving thanks. Listen to his four principles that he urged God’s people to practice.
1.Enter His gates with thanksgiving.
2.Enter His courts with praise.
3.Be thankful to Him.
4.Bless His name.
In one week we will celebrate a day set aside as Thanksgiving. Let us start today be prepared to make this day of Thanksgiving about more than turkey and dressing.
Prayer Thought:
Dear Jesus: Remind us of our blessings so that we can give thanks from a cheerful heart. Amen.”


Make sure you follow Jesus, not men. Keep the first thing first ,that is salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. “Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.” Psalm 119:18 ESV. Allow God to be your guide in this life, make all of your relationships count.
